We have several cases where the city-as-it-is gets one page and city-as-it-is-used-or-portrayed gets another. I think that's sufficient precedent there.

I think Big Applesauce can be used for non-explicit (implicit) references to NYC, and the tabbed approach can be used for explicit references.
This reduces confusion and adds clarity. Tropes can therefore be divided into the pages depending on the way they reference a city.

Your first post looked to me that you wanted to get rid of an entire set of categories, but your most recent post (as of this posting) makes it look like yu want to keep them and automate the assignment of them.
So... pretend you're talking to upper management, please. What do you want to do here?

Are there any restrictions on slipping images into templates?
Somebody did that on Wikipedia to vandalise thousands of pages at once.
Would it be worth restricting template editing to a subset of trusted users? Or is that always the case?

Due to the spamflood we already have automoderation to deal with this AFAIK.
I can't remember our namespace protections because I think it's a Phabricator thing IIRC.

Now, which list does it go on? Warning then tempban, tempban without warning, or permaban?
Considering that only people who should know better are supposed to be doing bot runs, I'm inclined to say "tempban without warning"...

(Why make it if I wasn't sure whether to use it? It seemed like a good idea at the time...)
